Public Safety Radio Strategic Planning Committee (PSRSPC)

Update as of July 1, 2012

As part of the 2012-13 California State Budget, the PSRSPC was eliminated under Government Code § 8592 – 8592.7.  Although the committee is no longer required under statue to meet, the member agencies have agreed to continue meeting to discuss relevant issues related to emergency communications. 
The California Public Safety Communications Act of 2002 (Government Code §§8592 – 8592.7) directs the PSRSPC to have primary responsibility in state government for the following:
  • Developing and implementing a statewide integrated public safety communications system that facilitates interoperability among state public safety departments as well as other first response agencies, as the committee deems appropriate
  • Coordinating other shared uses of public safety spectrum consistent with decisions and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
